Installation Considerations
D-Link wireless devices allow you access your network using a wireless connection
from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep
in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or
other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.
Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio
frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range
is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point
and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices
so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5
feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1
meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick!
Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or
ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs
may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless
routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with
insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will
degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as
ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection
may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz
phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The
base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Installation
A. Connect the power adapter to the receptor at the back panel of the
DWL-2200AP. Plug the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet or
power strip. The Power LED will turn ON to indicate proper operation.
B. Insert one end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the back panel of the
DWL-2200AP and the other end of the cable to an Ethernet Broadband
Router or Switch.
Note: You also have the option of connecting the DWL-2200AP directly
to the computer that will be used for conguration. The LAN LED light
should illuminate to indicate a proper Ethernet connection. (Note: The
Ethernet Port on the DWL-2200AP is Auto-MDI/MDIX. This allows you
to use a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable to connect to the
Ethernet port on the DWL-2200AP.)
There are two methods of powering the DWL-2200AP. The power adapter
can plug directly into the unit or plug into the PoE (Power over Ethernet)
base unit. For directions on using PoE, please refer to page 15.
It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected
to a switch for conguring the DWL-2200AP. The default IP address for
the DWL-2200AP is 192.168.0.50 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
You will need to assign your computer a Static IP address within the same
range as the DWL-2200AP’s IP address for the purpose of conguring the
AP. Please refer to page 13 to statically assign an IP address to your
computer.
7
When you have completed the steps in this Quick Installation Guide, your
connected network should look similar to this:
8
Conguration
The log-in pop-up screen will appear.
Once you have logged in, the
Home screen will appear.
Open your Web browser and
enter http://192.168.0.50
Click OK
Click Run Wizard
Type admin for the username and
leave the password eld blank.
9
Set up your new password
You have the option to establish
a password.
You will see the following
screen.
Click Next
Set your Wireless Connection
Enter your SSID and select the
channel of your wireless network.
The SSID is the name of your
wireless network. It can be up to
32 characters.
Click Next
Click Next
10
Wireless Security
The DWL-2200AP offers WEP
and WPA-Personal. By default
encryption is disabled. You can
enable encryption for secure
wireless communication.
Click Next
Click Next
WEP Encryption
If you selected WEP, select the
security level and enter your
WEP key. Refer to the Wireless
Security section in the manual on
the CD for more information.
Click Next
WPA-Personal Encryption
If you selected WPA-Personal,
enter your WPA passphrase.
Refer to the Wireless Security
section in the manual on the CD
for more information.
11
Click Restart
Your setup is complete.
You may now connect your wireless clients to the access point. If you have
enabled either WEP or WPA-Personal security, you must enable it and
enter the WEP key or WPA passphrase exactly the same on your wireless
clients.
12
To connect to the access point using a Windows
®
XP computer, follow the
steps below. Your wireless adapter may have a site survey feature which
is similar to the Windows
®
XP utility as shown below.
If you receive the Wireless Networks
Detected bubble, click on the center
of the bubble to access the utility.
Connect to the Wireless Network
You may also right-click on the
wireless computer icon in your
system tray (lower-right corner next
to the time). Select View Available
Wireless Networks.
The utility will display any available wireless networks in your area. Click
on a network (the SSID you entered when conguring your access point)
and click the Connect button.
13
Assigning a Static IP Address
To assign a Static IP Address on the computer that you are using to congure
the DWL-2200AP, follow the steps for the appropriate operating system:
Windows
®
XP:
Go to Start, click on Control
Panel, double-click on Network
Connections, right-click on Local
Area Connections and select
Properties.
Highlight Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP)

same range as the DWL-2200AP’s
IP address of 192.168.0.50. Each
computer/device must have a
unique IP address.
Click OK
Select Use the following IP
address
14
Go to Start > Settings > Network
and Dial-up Connections.

same range as the DWL-2200AP’s
IP address of 192.168.0.50. Each
computer/device must have a
unique IP address.
Click Properties

Select Use the following IP
address
Click OK
15
Using Power over Ethernet
Step 1: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (included with your package)
to the LAN port on the DWL-2200AP and the other end of the Ethernet cable
to the port labeled P+DATA OUT on the PoE base unit.
Step 2: Connect another Ethernet cable from the DATA IN port on the PoE
base unit to your router/switch or to a PC.
Step 3: Attach the power adapter to the connector labeled POWER IN on
the PoE base unit. Attach the power cord to the power adapter and into an
electrical outlet.
